TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE, 2017 Edition is here!

You’ve been waiting for it eagerly and I’m so pleased and excited to announce that the 2017 Edition of my TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE is now available for instant download in the Store!

This SIXTH Edition of the Guide is revised and updated and integrates all of the tangles on the site from May 2010 through December 31st, 2016.

Continuing her TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE tradition CZT Michele Beauchamp has added her beautiful Zentangle®-inspired art to the cover. In her ZIA Michele features many of the tangles that appeared on the site during the past year. As a special bonus, a second page of Michele’s delicate artistry introduces the tangles.

This year’s TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE has grown to a 54-page (23 MB) PDF resource with all of the pattern images hot-linked to their post on this site.

With her gracious permission, this year’s edition again contains a reprint of CZT Sandy Hunter‘s excellent article, A post with no pictures. Perfect to have this handy as a reference for you when you need it.

Additionally I included several extra features and articles to make this an indispensable aid to using the site.

A word about the alphabetic sorting of the tangles for those who are going to ask, especially the librarians and editors in the community. To simplify the sorting task I use Microsoft Word and its criteria for alphabetical sorting differs from that of other programs, including the software on the site itself. (And from the rules I learned.) But I go with Word as the path of least resistance and if you have quibbles with its sort order I invite you to take it up with Microsoft!

The BOOK REVIEWS page for this year’s Guide has also been updated with more information and a sample page.

Thanks for supporting the site with your purchase!Creating my TANGLE GUIDE is a labor of love for me and it was such a pleasure reviewing all the great new tangles added in the last year, as well as revisiting the “oldies”. I hope you enjoy using this handy resource and will encourage your tangling friends to get their own copy.

If you have a blog or website I’d love it if you’d post a “badge” for my new Guide on it – see the bottom of the RIGHT sidebar for the code. A million thanks!

And as always, your feedback, comments and suggestions are always most welcome.

Cheers and happy tangling!

Thank you so much for making this guide available. I look forward to it every year. I know that a HUGE amount of effort goes into maintaining this site and creating the guide. I truly appreciate it. I’ve added a donation to the cost of the guide and thank you once again for this wonderful gift.

I love my 2016 guide and thinking about getting 2017. It’s been the best book I have so far. It’s better than any zentangle book on the market! This book is totally with regard to wanting others to learn without any self-promotion or saluting their own works.

Thank you, Linda!! I can only imagine the enormous amount of time and effort you expend just on putting the tangle guide together, not to mention the daily maintenance of tanglepatterns.com. Your efforts are noticed and appreciated. Thank you so much! And thank you Michele Beauchamp for creating original, beautiful, and inspirational Zentangle (R) inspired art to make the Tangle Guide a truly unique resource! Happy Tangling New Year!!

Thank you so much, Linda! This has to be a HUGE undertaking, and this edition is even better than 2016’s edition. I think that this book and definitely your site, make all the difference in the world to making Zentangle so much easier to spread around. Thank you, again!

TanglePatterns depends on support from its users to remain online. If you find value in this unique Zentangle® resource, please help make sure it continues to be available. Your support really matters and you have my deepest gratitude for your help. xo
